Campaign posters of the immediate former Inspector-General of Police, Usman Baba, running for senatorial office under the ruling All Progressives Congress, to represent Yobe East Senatorial District in the forthcoming by-elections, are trending online.
The PUNCH could not confirm the veracity of the development, as sources close to Baba didn’t respond to inquiries, and the retired police chief could not be reached by our correspondent on Sunday.
However, if true, Baba may likely replace incumbent senator Ibrahim Gaidam, who is expected to resign and vacate the seat following his ministerial appointment by President Bola Tinubu and his subsequent confirmation by the Nigerian Senate.
The PUNCH reports that Baba retired from the Nigeria Police Force on June 20, 2023, following a major shake-up of the nation’s security architecture with the immediate retirement of all the service chiefs by President Tinubu.
